Hi,
In the case of having enough address space available for my LAN, how do
I de-activate NAT on M0n0Wall in order to have connections coming from
LAN Clients IP address ? That's what I want.
(I didn't put any NAT rule but connections still coming from M0n0 WAN IP
address)

Yes, I have dynamic IP addressing for LAN clients (M0n0 = DHCP server)
and Radius authentication.
I am able to find a user knowing the M0n0 IP address that does a http
request on an external server at a precise time by looking at firewall
logs (request from LAN client on M0n0 LAN interface, then from M0n0 WAN
interface to external server), dhcp logging (to find the client MAC
address knowing his LAN IP), and Radius logging (to find client username
knowing his MAC address, FreeRadius just log client MAC address and NAS
IP address).
All these logs can be redirected on a syslog server but that's still 3
different log to analyse.
It would be much benefit to know LAN IP address used...
